Sarajevo to Kotor Destination Reviews
A
Anonymous Bus was about 2 hours late with some random stops that didn’t make sense. Left on time, was clean and friendly. Random stops especially when already running late. One stop lasted over 45 minutes and it was just in the middle of nowhere. Meant that I missed a tour I had booked.

Anonymous Rude driver and late service. Bus was very clean. When loading/unloading bags, the bus driver was harassing my partner (Asian male) while ignoring all of the locals and white tourists. The driver’s behaviour was racist and disgusting.

Anonymous The cleanliness of the bus and the comfort of the seats were good. Despite the winding roads, our driver was very experienced. The driver was one of the rudest people I have ever seen in my life. He shouted warnings to many people, did not give any break warnings in English, and we could not understand how much time we had. During the last break, he took off to avoid waiting for a person who was going to the toilet, but with the insistence of the passengers, we barely persuaded him to wait. I hope he receives the necessary warnings and does not treat his passengers this way again. I don't think he stayed true to the break times, we stopped at each stop for almost 30-40 minutes and arrived in Kotor 1 hour late. He was always extremely rude to strangers, racist.

Anonymous They played Balkan songs all night, so i couldn’t sleep a lot. Personal was incredibly rude! It really went to the destination. The assistant is incredibly rude! He just burn you if you ask questions to them and humiliates you. The bus has no sign that writes kotor. The bus was not direct at all, not worth it!

Travelling by bus essentials
- If you are planning to travel during the high season, weekends, or national holidays, booking your bus tickets in advance is highly recommended. The demand is at its highest, yet very often, the number of coaches serving the route remains the same. The earlier you reserve your seat, the better. On some routes, you need to secure your ticket more than a month in advance; on others, a couple-of-days advanced booking is enough. During such periods, try to book online beforehand whenever possible, as showing up at the bus station without a ticket may result in many-hours of waiting in the queue or leave you downright stranded.
- VIP, 1st, Gold, and similar bus tickets are the most expensive option, but they provide a higher level of comfort. Normally the price of such tickets will include wide soft reclining seats, blankets, water and snacks or lunch, and sometimes some toiletries. Upper-class buses travel faster, make fewer stops during the route, and normally provide more spacious seating to their passengers and a better travel experience.
- Not all buses have an on-board toilet, but generally, for all trips longer than three hours, all operators schedule a bathroom and/or a lunch stop. While operators definitely do their best to keep on-board toilets clean, the smell may be an issue sometimes. For longer trips, booking a seat a bit farther from the toilet may be a good idea. Also, using bathroom stops for your toilet needs is always better than trying to find your balance in an on-board toilet on the run.
- If you travel by an air-con bus, make sure to pack layers. A hoodie, a warm scarf, or a beanie hat may prove a good idea. Air-conditioning on buses tends to be excessive, and running nose and sore throats abound after even not the longest bus rides.
- Always use the security belts even if your bus ride attendant or driver does not insist on it. Your safety comes first – for you, for sure. All buses normally are equipped with security belts, but they may be fixed behind your seat. Take time to find the belt and fix it appropriately.
- To avoid being disturbed by overhead lights, switched on during stops even at night, and too loud music or sound from the on-board entertainment system, have earplugs and a sleeping mask at hand.
- As a courtesy to other passengers, avoid using strong perfumes or smelly foods. Some foods like cheeses or durians are forbidden to take on-board – check in advance. Alcohol is also prohibited on the majority of buses.
- Note that if the bus requires refuelling en-route, passengers will be asked to get off the bus. Operators are not allowed to refuel with passengers on board due to safety reasons. Usually, it takes from 5 to 10 minutes and is often combined with a toilet/lunch stop.
- If not stated otherwise in your tickets, arrive at the bus station 20-30 minutes before departure. It will give you enough time to find the departure platform and check-in. For international trips, you may need more time for check-in and border formalities.
